Louise Ritson uses the tem mentoring in a special way — to mean a one-to-one professional relationship with a personal mentor who does not provide you with advice, knowledge or skills. Instead, your personal mentor provides a high degree of empathy and rapport in helping you to use your own inner strengths most effectively.
Personal mentoring allows you to explore
your own perceptions and feelings in depth and with the
security and confidentiality of a professional setting.
You can use personal mentoring, for example, to consider the
personal impact of business issues, and the business
impact of personal issues.
The objectives of personal mentoring are
to maintain and enhance your personal effectiveness, to
reduce stress, alleviate isolation, and avoid burnout.
Typical outcomes include increased confidence in your
intuition, beliefs and principles, calmer and more
sure-footed handling of difficult situations, better
realization of your strengths and passions, and clearer
conceptualization.
